Mussels Gorgonzola Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mussels

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the sausage. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Add Mussels

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mussels open up.

  6. 6

    Incorporate Spinach and Cheese

    Once the mussels are opened, stir in the fresh spinach, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Crumble the gorgonzola cheese over the top and stir gently to combine.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve the mussels in bowls with the sauce and toppings. Enjoy!
